The Brookwood Bullets headed into the past weekend prepared for a much anticipated match up against the defending Midget Champions from 2010, The PX Knights. This was the match up both the players and coaching staff were looking forward to, both as a regular season game but also a testing point to see how far the Brookwood midget program has come over the last 2 months.
Brookwood came out very strong on the defensive side of the game, only limiting the PX Knights to 25 half court points. The strong defense lead to many steals which ultimately lead to many fast breaks and foul shots for Brookwood. Second half proved to be more challenging for Brookwood as their defense decided to relax. 2nd half defense has been the weak point to the Brookwood team this season and will continue to work on it.
Leading Brookwood in scoring was Kamal Spinsby who took it upon himself to set the tone of the game early as he dropped 27 points. After taking a hard fall early in the game and a few more throughout the game, Reynard Robinson contributed 14 points in a strong shooting performance. Jalen Rose had 12 points as his consecutive foul shot streak ended at 14. First year forward coming back from Injury, Mamadou Keita, scored 11 points in his first game of the season. The ball was spread out evenly as 8 of the 12 players playing, got on the scoresheet.
Brookwood will take a breather from the season games as they head into the St. Bruno Tournament this coming weekend. Brookwood looks to test their skills as they are placed in the Juvenile AA category in the tournament. The first game is Friday at 7pm and the rest of the game times depend on the outcome of the first game. Schedule of game time and location of gyms are located in the Schedule section.
